Money in Lebanon
Inflation hit an all-time high of 264% in March from 190% in February. Inflation will be far higher than in any other country in the region this year due to currency devaluations and the weak black-market lira. Further devaluations and downward pressure on the parallel-market FX rate are upside risks, while an improvement in the political situation is a downside risk.
